Will Slogans Save Us'

“We have actually convinced ourselves that slogans will save us. Shoot up if you must, but use a clean needle. or, Enjoy sex whenever and with whomever you wish, but protect yourself.

“No! The answer is no! Not because it isnt cool or smart or because you might wind up in jail or dying in the AIDS ward, but because its wrong!

“What Moses brought down from Mount Sinai were not the Ten Suggestions, but the Ten Commandments!”
